For my 7th graders, we covered Russian history. So for the last 2 days, I'm showing them "Battleship Potemkin."
Even though it's 90 years old, silent, and about events they don't really get, they all have been riveted by the Odessa Steps sequence.

Ooooh, who is playing the score?
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to roll an 8."
"I'm going to roll an 8."

Re: Battleship Potemkin
Cool!
There's a movie called Strike! (from the same director) about oppressed Russian factory workers (pre-revolution) trying to start a strike. It doesn't end well since the monarchy puts it down rather dramatically. From my understanding its a pretty accurate representation of the working classes' conditions. I also know the people who recorded the score for a more recent version of that film...It's pretty good.
